Hey all, hope this post finds you well. I know the last few days have been upsetting and confusing, but I want your feedback on something that's been discussed by quite a number of users: removing the community c/fakenews. Given the poor communication that's been such a problem lately, I'm calling a vote.

Let's just make this super simple:

Please vote by way of upbearing the emojis pinned below.

monkey-typewriter Keep c/fakenews

frog-no-pretext Remove c/fakenews

Votes will be counted 48 hours after this post was made.

Edit: Sorry, I jumped the gun on this one, gang. Gonna give the previous struggle session more breathing room before we litigate anything else, okay?

We'll be back later this week to discuss further.

    I feel the best case for a c/fakenews post is a mildly humorous gotcha. The worst case is causing an anxiety episode for a comrade. The median is just an unfunny post clogging up the timeline. The good posts that comes from c/fakenews can still stick around, just post in c/chapotraphouse and link to a rickroll or something.

      I don’t see how this fixes the issue you have stated.
      Wouldn’t it cause more anxiety to have the post in a more “legit” comm with posts that are actually “real”?
